[Q] Home Key single press not working! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello peeps,
I have a problem with the home key in S3. Single press does nothing i.e doesn't come to home screen. If i am not wrong it happened after some app updates. The key itself is working fine because holding it brings up the task manager. The launcher is Golauncher ex,changing launchers didn't fix it.
Anyone had it before? I am waiting to see if something can solve this before factory reset.

Could be a rom related option to customize hardware keys, I'd suggest going through rom settings. If you're running stock then I think the only solution is to factory reset your phone..

factory reset made it work and then after some app installation didnt work again. Back to a nandroid old version and no auto update app.

[Q] Help : Messaging Screen stuck.

Guys, I had installed GoSMS and uninstalled it after sometime. After that while accessing my messages, whenever I press the back key (the one beside the button ) it refuses to take me back to the main screen. but the key works well with everything else. I tried clearing defaults , cache of messages, but to no avail. Please help!
Backup data and factory reset .

The solutions are so easy aren't they JJ.... yet they still want everyone to perform miracles and spoon feed them...
Have you thought about reinstalling GO SMS and seeing if the back key will start to act right again?

phone turn lockscreen on and off

hay
i hawe a strange problem. Phone turn lockscreen on and off by himself. Idk is there a problem whit software or a program during that.I done factory reset, rebooted phone, but same.
In task no program is runnig only necessary.
What Rom,kernel, and hboot do you have ??? Are you running a theme or have you flashed any extra add ons after you flashed your Rom ??

its all orginal. and 2.3.4, Sens 3.0
Phone is new and i dont want to f somthing for now.
I use go launcher, and widgetlocker, but when i delete this programs its the same.
Widget locker most likey is the culprit. Did do the factory reset from the menu settings???
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes ,but the same. Only now i made f reset, and didnt installed nothing. Seems to be ok. Hm, must be a program.
Yup widget locker more than likely is the culprit since it effects your lock screen and your having lock screen problems not a 100% sure but I'm pretty positive it is. I would recommend not installing the app again. However you can search the playstore for apps that do the same but don't screw up your lock screen you just have to try a few until you find one that works. Me personally I don't install any app that messes with the lock screen.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes , now im going to reload all apps whitout widgetlocker
Cool that should fix your issue.

lol ,now its getting started again. Idk what its wrong. Seems thats hardware software problem. I dont hawe nothing installed.
Hummm ?? Have you tried a factory reset from your bootloader ?? The settings reset isn't really a factory reset. I mean it is but it isn't because it doesn't completely wipe the phone like the bootloader's reset does I believe. Also before you do that or if you decide to do it don't forget to backup all of your imporant data.

i cant get in. Its not rooted.

you dont have to be rooted to reset your phone through bootloader, first go to settings >power > uncheck fast reboot, and then power off your phone, then press Volume down button + power on button, the phone will start in recovery mode, from there you can reset your phone to factory settings, everything will be wiped off so be sure to backup your contacts sms, pictures etc
thanks
it sounds like it might be a problem with your battery cover, ever drop the phone on the power button region?
no, now i wiped everything hole phone + sd card. Now i'm letting him one day noting installed. will see

Glad its working for you.

Sounds like you might be having an issue with the lock button itself, could be software but i doubt it because uninstalling and reinstalling the software should have fixed it. Figure out what programs are using the lockscreen and remove them one at a time and see if one of them is creating a conflict if not then it has to be an issue with the button itself

Flash back to full stock with factory reset. If still the same then hardware.

BACK and MENU keys both assigned to Key #139

Hi guys and thanks for this awesome forum.
I tried out different ROMs on my Feiteng N9500.
After a while many ROMs have both assigned the BACK and MENU keys to keynr. 139, which is supposed to be only the MENU key.
I checked this with the "keynumber tracker" app.
So now both my BACK and MENU keys open the Menu.
If I flash the stock ROM however, they both work fine.
And this used to work fine on other roms aswell.
I did go into factory mode and accidentally press some of the chinese stuff, that may be related.
But the Stock ROM works.
Any Ideas how to make my BACK key work again?
